What “scam or legit” can actually answer

A useful answer separates four questions: who operates the exact website, whether it appears in the relevant provincial system, what recent complaints actually say, and whether those complaints ended in payment or remained unresolved. A single global star rating cannot answer all four.

Ontario has the clearest private-market directory in Canada. Elsewhere, provincial models differ. That is why every field file states the province and capture date instead of using “legal in Canada” as a shortcut.

Research queue

The desk also tracks regulated Ontario sites and international brands marketed to Canadians. Queue inclusion is a discovery record, not a risk label.
